    Hello, my name is David, and today I bought my firts quadcopter "and I'm very very very excited", its an XK X250, and I see that with the battery that brings "A 3.7V 800mAh 20C lipo", only have 8 mins flight.

    This quadcopter have a flying weight of 100g, so what I want to buy a bigger battery in order to have more minutes to flight, but went I was searching batteries I see diferent battery propeties, for example; Single Cell "That have the higger mAh/Weight", then configurations from 1S to 12S.

    Aanother think is, I can buy higger discharge battery than 20C?

    Thank you in advance!

    You may end up frying (hurting) the circuit board. You should use a 3.7 volt (single cell) battery but you can go up in mAh if you can make it fit. For example, you could use a 1000 mAh battery which may give another minute or two.
    At some point the weight of the battery will offset the increased flight time. It may be better just to have extra batteries and give the machine a short rest while you change them.
